As a Senior Producer, you will have a passion for creating games and take responsibility for specific areas of the game design and work closely with all disciplines to implement features that deliver on the overall game vision.

Founded in 2016 by nine leaders in the industry, with extensive experience in the development of critically acclaimed titles such as Guitar Hero Live and DiRT, we’ve been growing ever since. Today we work with some of the biggest names in the games industry such as Blizzard, Amazon, Microsoft, and Mythical Games.

Alongside several new high-profile, unannounced projects, our team is also working on our own IP, so TKG is an incredibly exciting place to be right now. We are also setting new benchmarks for creativity in the games industry, driving technical expertise in programming alongside creative innovation.

Work-life balance and flexibility are very important to us and our team. At TKG, we offer a place where our team can be their most creative, imaginative, and confident selves. We want all of our team to feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work. TKG recently received a GOLD Award in Mind Charity’s Workplace Wellbeing Index, recognising our dedication to our team’s mental health and wellbeing.
